Today, that power is yours-use it!

Rich or Poor?

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad." "Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked. "Oh yeah," said the son."So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them." The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing?

Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have. Appreciate every single thing you have..

林風眠——近代巨匠 香港終老

【明報專訊】林風眠(1900至1991)是中國近代畫壇巨匠，終生致力於融合中西繪畫傳統，獨創個人藝術風格。他的徒弟吳冠中曾形容，「從東方向西方看，從西方向東方看，都可見到屹立的林風眠。」但不幸在文革時期，林風眠慘被批鬥陷獄5年，不少畫作已散失或壞，經中共元老葉劍英親自批示，林風眠於1979年來港定居，1991年在港逝世。
林風眠對中國現代畫壇影響深遠，但傳世畫作數量不多，往往在拍賣場上以高價成交，作品如《荷花》和《山村》等，都以數百萬元被收藏家投得。
林風眠17歲到法國留學，進入當時法國最著名的哥羅孟畫室習畫，至1925年回國，隨即獲蔡元培賞識，以25歲之齡出任北平美術專科學校校長。他是國內最早推行國畫改革的畫家之一，積極將油畫與國畫的優點結合，主題以繪畫仕女和風景畫居多，常帶有一種悲涼和孤寂的風格。

五牛圖--唐代韓滉作, 139cm*20.8cm

【明報專訊】《五牛圖》是現存世上最早出現的紙上畫作之一，由唐德宗時的承相韓滉繪畫，屬極稀有的唐代紙絹繪畫真。它於清末八國聯軍入侵北京時曾落入外國手中，後來輾轉由香港收藏家吳蘅孫擁有，1952年物主因財政問題打算拍賣畫作，消息驚動時任總理周恩來，他派出文化部官員及專家赴港鑑定真偽，雖然當時中國外匯緊絀，但周恩來決定花6萬元將珍寶帶回故宮博物院。
香港收藏家割愛 周恩來指示購回
《五牛圖》上五隻牛形象各異，或行或立，或低頭吃草，或回顧舐舌，形神活現，各具生動形態，反映作者對造型和視覺掌握的卓越功力。韓滉擅長畫牛，能以老練筆法和簡潔線條，勾勒出牛的骨骼轉折和筋肉紋理，在牛頭與口鼻處呈現的細毛，更是筆筆入微。在唐代以牛作畫是傳統題材之一，體現了當時以農為主的生活，作品往往以有鼓勵農耕的意義。

Ebenezer: Up to now the Lord has been our help

撒 母 耳 將 一 塊 石 頭 、 立 在 米 斯 巴 和 善 的 中 間 、 給 石 頭 起 名 叫 以 便 以 謝 、 說 、 到 如 今 耶 和 華 都 幫 助 我 們 。 撒上 7:12

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:Ecclesiastes3:1

凡 事 都 有 定 期 、 天 下 萬 務 都 有 定 時

Spain (Japan) may look good to you, but what does He want for your life?

When things don't seem to work out the way you plan, God is still at work. Paul planned to go to Spain; it was certainly a good idea, but God had a better one and Paul landed in prison. It was there he wrote his prison Epistles---words that would last far beyond his short lifetime, and touch multitudes more than the small group of believers who were waiting for him in Spain. Listen, child of God: "In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps" (Proverbs 16:9, NIV). Sometimes your disappointments are His appointments.

David said, "You . . . Scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe" (Psalm 139:16)

Contact Lens And The Ant

Brenda was a young woman who was invited to go rock climbing. Although she was scared to death, she went with her group to a tremendous granite cliff. In spite of her fear, she put on the gear, took a hold on the rope, and started up the face of that rock. Well, she got to a ledge where she could take a breather. As she was hanging on there, the safety rope snapped against Brenda's eye and knocked out her contact lens. Well, here she is on a rock ledge, with hundreds of feet below her and hundreds of feet above her. Of course, she looked and looked and looked, hoping it had landed on the ledge, but it just wasn't there. Here she was, far from home, her sight now blurry. She was desperate and began to get upset, so she prayed to the Lord to help her to find it.
When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but there was no contact lens to be found. She sat down, despondent, with the rest of the party, waiting for the rest of them to make it up the face of the cliff. She looked out across range after range of mountains, thinking of that Bible verse that says, "The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth." She thought, "Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me." Finally, they walked down the trail to the bottom. At the bottom there was a new party of! climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, "Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?" Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly across the face of the rock, carrying it.
Brenda told me that her father is a cartoonist. When she told him the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew a picture of an ant lugging that contact lens with the words, "Lord, I don't know why You want me to carry this thing. I can't eat it, and it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I'll carry it for You."
I think it would probably do some of us good to occasionally say, "God, I don't know why you want me to carry this load. I can see no good in it and it's awfully heavy. But, if you want me to carry it, I will."
God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
I love GOD. He is my source of existence and my Savior. He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I am nothing,but with Him I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.(Philipians 4:13)

A Poem from my wonderful niece, Rachel (10 yrs old)

An artist is an artist.
An aunt is an aunt.
It is very hard to combine these two to become a fantastic aunt.
But mine is different from hers or his.
Mine is both and she has one kid.

Ah Mah, my promise to You.....
